On Friday night, Sportsnet network reporter Jeff Marek claimed the Mississauga Steelheads had traded the 18-year-old centerman to the Peterborough Petes.
In return, they would have received forwards Jack Van Volsen and Justin DeZoete in addition to several draft picks.
Selected in the second round (33rd overall) of the last draft by CH, Beck has recorded 17 goals and 23 assists for 40 points in 30 games so far in 2022-2023.
The Port Hope native also just won gold at the World Junior Hockey Championship with the Canada squad.
Initially, Beck failed to secure a spot with the Maple Leaf Club for this prestigious competition, but the organization urgently recalled him during the tournament. He mostly led the fourth row and racked up an assist in three games.
